The Complete and Original Norwegian Folktales of Asbjørnsen and Moe

Ann Richardson’s narration is nothing short of captivating, her voice perfectly balancing the whimsy and depth of these classic tales. Each character emerges with its own distinct personality, whether it’s the cunning robber or the resourceful princess. The pacing is just right, neither too fast nor slow, which keeps listeners engaged throughout. However, some stories feel a bit repetitive, with certain motifs recurring more than might be necessary. Despite this minor critique, the overall experience is thoroughly enjoyable and highly recommended for anyone fascinated by European folklore.
